Learn how to use the most common French words in real conversations, from everyday verbs like “faire,” “prendre,” and “mettre” to expressions such as “Je comprends ton point de vue” and “Tiens-moi au courant.” This French vocabulary podcast helps you practice familiar words in sentences, expressions, and everyday situations.

Join Koraly and Guillaume for a B1–B2 French lesson with explanations, examples, repeat-aloud moments, and three role-play conversations.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Everyday verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs, and how their meanings can change depending on context.
• Useful patterns with “à,” “de,” “en,” “dans,” and “sur,” plus linking words such as “même si,” “parce que,” and “c’est pour ça que.”
• Conversation phrases for sharing your opinion, asking for clarification, and disagreeing politely.
• Common verbal expressions with “prendre,” “faire,” “mettre,” “avoir,” “aller,” “donner,” and “venir.”
• Ways to practice vocabulary through phrases, active listening, spaced repetition, speaking, and reading.

This episode explores the idea of focusing on high-frequency vocabulary through a selection of useful words and expressions. It is a guided practice lesson rather than a complete list of 1,000 words.

Follow the repeat-aloud prompts, then choose a few expressions and create your own sentences about your life. In the final section, hear the vocabulary used in conversations about meeting someone new, planning a hike, and discussing a project at work.

Which expression will you try today: “Donne-moi une seconde,” “Je comprends ton point de vue,” or “Tiens-moi au courant”? Write your own sentence in the comments.
